Talking about the Fringe Show I am in.  I am so excited about this show. It is going to be great.

It’s based on Pagliacci but with the sexes switched and new music. Oh, and it is in English. TAKE THAT, OPERA.

Tickets: http://www.fringefestival.org/2009/show/?id=1120

Also, we are the #1 pick for Fringe blogger Matthew Everett: http://swfringegeek.blogspot.com/2009/07/fringe-2009-top-10-1-savage-umbrella.html

It is written and directed by Blake Bolan and Laura Leffler-McCabe, who are responsible for the Pinter Studies segment I was in and the 10-minute play I was in last year. They are awesome.

SEACON 09 will feature the classics you love and a few that never made it to release. YOU ARE GUARANTEED TO LOVE IT.

However, the HOW is here. But, okay, yeah, maybe some specific WHY.

We had been using a generic namespacing function that required plugging in the base name three times. Not really that much work, but kind of a pain if you want to redistribute it. So, it is now reworked to be changed only in one place. It requires three variables in the default global namespace but that ain’t bad, right?

var APPLICATION_NAMESPACE = "MYPROJECT";
var _global = this;
var _global[APPLICATION_NAMESPACE] = {};

_global[APPLICATION_NAMESPACE].namespace = function() {
    var a=arguments, o=null, i, j, d;
    for (i=0; i<a.length; i=i+1) {
        d=a[i].split(".");
        o=_global[APPLICATION_NAMESPACE];

        for (j=(d[0] == APPLICATION_NAMESPACE) ? 1 : 0; j<d.length; j=j+1) {
            o[d[j]]=o[d[j]] || {};
            o=o[d[j]];
        }
    }

    return o;
}

So, _global here refers to window most of the time (but sometimes not so we need a reference to it).  MYPROJECT can be whatever you want it to be.

When we use the namespacing stuff we refer to the specific namespace directly using JS dot-deliminated object syntax. This function goes soft on existing objects; it will not destroy a previously created object with the same name.

The function will ignore the name of the namespace if it is the first part in there. I’m not saying that well, but these calls are functionally identical and both namespace MYPROJECT.SomeOtherPart.

MYPROJECT.namespace("SomeOtherPart");
MYPROJECT.namespace("MYPROJECT.SomeOtherPart");

The evening consists of six or seven short plays in promenade style (the audience moves from piece to piece) based on the work of playwright Harold Pinter. It is a fascinating and powerful set of performances. For my part, I play Oedipus’ uncle in a work written and directed by Blake Bolan.

Because it is a promenade, the seating is limited, so be sure to reserve in advance by calling 612.619.2112

Love In A Time of Rinderpest, the play Josef Evans wrote for this year’s Fringe Festival was so popular that it was chosen to play again at Minneapolis’ famous Guthrie Theater.

There are only three shows, so you’ll want to buy your tickets, like, today. We have only one replacement in the cast (for the good, in my opinion) and Joe is beefing up the timing. It is going to be even funnier I think.

Something like 1.5 dozen of our family are coming to see the show. Mamma Mia!

"I want to create an award for Best Comic Line in a Fringe Show and award it to Maren for ‘Good Night, I love sports!’"

"This show should be prescribed for terminally ill patients."

"Hilarious. Funny as hell. Stitches in my side. Hard to catch my breath."

The Pioneer Press calls it a MUST SEE.
